1: How to be a kinder & gentler partner
A great book for those male or female who want a better understanding of marriage and the differences in the sexes. I bought 3 copies; for myself, and 2 of my adult daughters. This book helps to remind me that when my husband seems alien to me it's because he is a man - not a woman! It is also a good reminder to give all of yourself to your spouse and the miracle of how my attitude and giving love will prompt a more kinder and gentler partner not only in myself but also in my husband.

2: The golden rule....
We are always told to treat others the way we would like to be treated. This book helps explain how to treat your spouse the way you want to be treated. We often get into a rut of blaming each other, nagging, and reviewing a list of unhappy events in arguements. This books helps to explain how to move forward. I find myself discussing instead of argueing with my spouse. In the end we both get what we want -happiness.

3: As always, biting humor with a point
Some people hate Dr Laura...I love her. She makes my 6 hour drives to visit my folks a breeze. I always laugh and I'm always shocked by her. The irony is that not only am I entertained, but she makes consistent and true points. I've been listening to her since about 1993 and I consider myself now 'Dr Laura Certified'. Even if you hate her, she about 97% right (maybe that's part of what people hate?) Of course, I still can't help but snicker about the fact that she was divorced, so how can you take advice from her about marriage? Well, we seem to learn more by making mistakes, don't we? I gave this book as a shower present and the bride- who I thought would scoff at it- tore through it in two days. She said she's read so many relationship books over the years, but this was the only one that held her interest and made immediate sense.
I don't mean she made sense in the way that Dr Phil- a goof with his own traveling circus, in my opinion- seems to make sense. He simply takes common sense and makes it sound like a revelation (and follows it up with highly unrealistic solutions). Dr Laura actually injects logic into her responses- once you get around the snippy reactions and lack of patience she has with her callers. And I find that hilarious (and the callers know what to expect, anyway).

4: Great Book
First I tought it was a gag gift from my wife since we do have a great marriage.
This book is easy to read and quite engaging as Dr. Laura uses her radio show callers as a tool to make her points.
A husband's emotions have to do with the overall connection in the marriage, and my wife wanted me to know that she understands that.

5: Excellent Food For Thought
My wife and I reached a point where we were no longer communicating. This book has helped us wake up and re-establish our communication with each other, and has helped us to not take each other for granted. This book is full of solutions and tips and is a great resource.
